Tuesday delivered welcome rains to many Minnesota lawns and farm fields. It’s not enough to end a growing drought, but every little bit helps ease drought stress.

Willmar 1.62 inches
Glencoe 1.43 inches
Brainerd 0.94 inches
Hutchinson 0.74 inches

A few scattered areas of rain and thunderstorms will linger across parts of Minnesota overnight into early Tuesday morning. The highest risk for severe weather or flooding overnight lies along the I-90 corridor in southern Minnesota.

Cooler.
Highs will linger in the 60s north to 70s south Wednesday. Clouds will linger but gradually fade Wednesday.
Thursday looks glorious across Minnesota. Brilliant sunshine and highs in the 70s will feel like a vacation after our recent string of 90s.
Dry air mass
Another pleasant feature of our inbound air mass is dryness. Dew points will be in the 30s and 40s up north, with comfortable 50s in the south.
